The Endless Shuttle

She could clearly feel that there was something weird and surreal here, but she couldn't tell what that feeling was. It was like being very close through a layer of blurred glass, but she couldn't know the truth.

"Well, your senses are still as keen as ever."

Luo Pei nodded approvingly, picked up the scabbard from the center of the circle, and handed it to the blond knight king.

Saber took her scabbard, and together with her holy sword, it turned into a fluorescent light and disappeared into her hand.

"Here, besides you and me, there is a body of a god—ah, don't put on that "could it be!?" expression. That's right, it was the evil god I summoned. There are important things that need its help, so you understand. "Rope spread his hands.

"—You are still entangled with that kind of evil!"

In the last war, Luo Pei played the role of "evil god priest". In order to strip Irisviel's soul, Saber also knew a little bit about the existence of those old rulers.

Knowing is one thing, recognizing is another.

In the eyes of the King of Knights who is loyal to the righteous way, Lopez in the last war is at best a weirdo who "exercises evil power and has a flawed personality". Generally speaking, he is still within the king's tolerance. Likes and dislikes" Saber is somewhat clear about this kind of thing.

But because of this, she felt that Luo Pei should stick to his heart and stay as far away from those sources of evil as possible.

People who were lured into complete degeneration by "demons" were not a minority in her kingdom in the Middle Ages, and Saber also killed many. Those crazy guys have often broken away from the ethics of "human beings" and become cruel creatures that devour the lives and pleasures of fellow humans.

"For the victory of the Holy Grail War, I can spare no effort to lend you my power again and become your sword blade. Why do you need to pray for help from heretics, Luo Pei!"

"Oh, oh, are you going to start the preaching mode right after you come out, Ms. Knight Wang?"

Rope shook his head helplessly.

"It's not just based on the premise of "victory", there are deeper reasons. Besides "unremitting efforts" or something... Ms. Saber can relax herself this time, your Master will help you share a lot of pressure, and it is not impossible to reach the end of this Holy Grail War comfortably, right? "

After intensively researching secret techniques and taking away the power of the gods, until today, Luo Pei was finally able to say such words in front of Saber.

As a male, his self-esteem was never satisfied.

In the first trial, because of his strength, he could only hide behind Saber without adding the "God Descending BUFF". No matter how he said it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Rope, arrogance on the battlefield is the fastest way to perdition..." Saber frowned and said.

Suddenly, the petite girl's green pupils widened, and she involuntarily hid to the left.

In an instant, even faster, like lightning, Luo Pei, who was just five meters away from her, had already come to her side, where she was originally standing.

Saber narrowly dodged Rope's fingers trying to grab her hair, making the hand engraved with magic lines freeze in mid-air

"Is it intuition?" Luo Pei withdrew his hand regretfully.

"It's really shameless to make a prediction..." It was just a little bit short.

"You just...!"

Saber looked at the black-haired youth in disbelief.

It wasn't because of his "surprise attack", but because of the speed that she couldn't even react.

If it weren't for her inherent skills and intuition as high as "A" level, according to the original trajectory, the blond hair on her left would be pinched between her fingers by Luo Pei.

——Definitely not a speed that humans can possess.

This time, it is still as full of magic power as last time, and the agility is at the peak state of the heroic spirit.

What exactly is going on……

Saber recalled the details of getting along with Rope in the last Holy Grail War.

At that time, without using the form of wearing a yellow robe, Luo Pei's performance was 100% in line with the typical of a delicate and frail magician, and it was absolutely impossible to surpass her as a heroic spirit.

"I apologize if I scare you. I'm sorry." Luo Pei raised his hands with a smile.

"The reason for the sudden attack is just to prove to you the credibility of my words. Not only is time ruthlessly lost, but it is directly proportional to it, and my strength is also growing rapidly, reaching the point where it is my turn to protect you .”

"..."

Saber was speechless.

She could tell that it belonged to Luo Pei's own physical strength, rather than relying on the gift of the evil god or other weird things.

Between the movements of the black-haired young man, the feeling like the sun is something that demons and heretics will not have.

That's why she couldn't believe it. Saber couldn't imagine what it would be like to allow a human being to grow to this extent in ten years.

The girl raised her hand and looked at her arm armor, which was brand new due to the generation of magic power, but had an old style.

"...Am I unable to keep up with the rhythm of this world?"

"Ha. It has nothing to do with "this world". The specific reason will be a rather long but very interesting story. If you are interested in Arturia, I think it should... No, there must be time to listen to me at the dinner table. "Rope said meaningfully.

From the very beginning, his ambition for the King of Knights has never changed, otherwise at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, he wouldn't regret it for a long time after Saber disappeared.

——This time he will let Saber regain her body and stay in this world forever.

But thinking of this, he started to have a headache for Saber's obsession with the Holy Grail.

Because it is not a real heroic spirit, things like the sense of time have an impact on Artoria in a sense, and it seems that this long period of time has calmed her mind a little, but it still needs to be observed, still Depending on the situation, further "induction" is required.

If it doesn't work, just steal Nyarlathotep's teacher. Turning right and wrong is not only the patent of Igoronak, but Nyarlathotep has also done it.

As if accepting the status quo, Saber relaxed her body and said.

"It's very fast, but you'd better be more cautious, Luo Pei. After all, it's the Holy Grail War. It's not surprising that any strange heroes and treasures appear."

She stood in her own position and tried to dissuade him in a regular manner.

——It seems that the girl still has some words to say that Luo Pei is getting closer and closer to the group of evil gods.

The black-haired youth pretended not to see it.

"The source of my confidence, maybe you will see it soon, Saber..."

He turned his gaze out of the window, and the bright moonlight shone on the city. Although it was not as good as daytime, it was not too far away.

The darkness is dispelled, and the hero's stage is set, ready for the revelry of opening night.

"Then, that's all for reminiscing about old times and exchanging pleasantries. On this first night of the Holy Grail, would the honorable Queen Arthur be willing to dance the first dance of that banquet with me?" He bowed gracefully and saluted Saber.

Coupled with Luo Pei's handsome face, his posture is enough to make any romantic girl's heart beat.

But Saber is not a romantic girl, the King of Knights just smiled, and responded to Luo Pei with a knight's salute instead of a lady's salute.

"--my pleasure."
